Do you remember the last time you did something that really scared you? |
For me it happened just last week. Let me explain…. Day 3 into a backing trip in the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon, after crossing many snow fields, enduring endless mosquito bites, and reaching 9000 feet in altitude, I found myself on top of the mountain - paralyzed with fear. I’ve always been afraid of heights. This time, I could not envision getting off the ridge with very steep, long drops on both sides, snow to the right, and a washed-out, narrow trail to the left. Left utterly vulnerable and fearful, in front of 9 friends and my daughter, I had to dig really deep to find the courage to put one foot in front of the other. Thanks to their patience and support - and a trekking pole – I was able to live and tell the story! |
Stepping outside your comfort zone offers an opportunity to discover yourself. |
It forces you to keep raising the bar and overcome your fears. If you feel like you’re missing that extra push in your step, do something to challenge yourself. Don’t let fear slow you down. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. |
What’s something you tried recently that you never thought you’d do? |
